I (33M) have recently discovered late in life that I am bisexual. It has really only been within the few years or so that I have come to this realization. I grew up extremely religious and have all the shame, guilt and purity culture that go along with that - even into my late 20s/early 30s. Which has led to not having many friends or family who would accept me if they really knew.

I am married to my best friend (33F) who has been so supportive and through a few years of conversation and therapy we have decided to open our marriage so that I am able to explore this side of myself and my sexuality.

So I guess this is it - my coming out post. I don’t have a ton of LGBTQ friends and only a hand few of people know that I am gay. (Wow, that’s still weird to say!) I am pretty new to the scene but hoping by turning to reddit I’ll be able to explore and be myself more authentically.

Any particular advice or ways to get involved in the community you would suggest?

More to come as I find myself!
